The letters that are collected in this book tell a love story: that of Eric Appleby and Phyllis Ryan, during World War I. Eric Appleby was from Liverpool. An engineering student at the start of the War, he had been in his school Officer Training Corps, and in the Royal Engineers Territorials. He enlisted in the Royal Field Artillery in 1914 and was sent to Athlone for training. At a dance there he met Phyllis Kelly, who was brought up in Athlone, where her father was a solicitor. The collections consist of some 200 letters, field service postcards and telegrams. Eric's 1916 diary has been used to verify locations and events. The letters cover Eric's experiences from the time he left Athlone in March 1915 until he was killed in October 1916 at the tail-end of the Somme offensive. They show how much he depends on Phyllis's love and her letters to him to help him deal with the horrors of war. descriptions of his four leaves home, to Liverpool, Dublin and Athlone, because Phyllis asked him to write about their love days together. Although there is only one, unposted letter from Phyllis, the story that develops testifies to their mutual regard and throws light also on Phyllis's personality, because Eric comments at length on her views and news and, as requested, writes about their time together.

Love Letters from the Front Line. A fascinating anthology of letters written by soldiers at the fighting front in the last two centuries, many previously unpublished. Heartbreaking and vividly descriptive, the letters are to wives and sweethearts and talk of loneliness and hilarity, boredom and the terrifying excitement of action, the companionship of friends and the agony of loss. The letters are mainly from the two world wars but some are included from the American Civil War and the War of 1812. They have been selected for their emotional content and to celebrate the intensity of the need for self-expression, so powerful in times of stress and danger.

This is a unique war story, based on more than 350 letters that the author's father wrote to her mother from the front lines in Italy in 1944 and 1945. These are love letters, deeply intimate. While vividly recounting the brutal life of a combat soldier, they also reveal the intense connection between the author's mother and father. Through extensive quotes from the letters, the book conveys in powerful detail what he thought, felt, and experienced as a company commander in combat. Her letters do not survive, but his responses to her show the strength of their relationship. They write about mutual friends, the quotidian details of their lives, the weather, food, the war news. They tease each other. They send each other gifts and photos. They dream about life after the war. Sometimes they quarrel-he worries about money and chides her about her spending habits. She becomes frustrated over irregular and delayed mail and blames him for it. But every letter conveys his love for her, his aching for her, his sense of being with her despite the distance and the war. This is also the story of the war itself, of dangerous night patrols, German artillery, supplies coming to the front by mule, days and days with no sleep, dead and wounded soldiers, German war prisoners, and, finally, victory. This poignant juxtaposition of the personal and the historical, based on a rare quantity of first-hand material, is spellbinding and inspiring.

From the private papers of Winston Churchill to the tender notes of an unknown Tommy in the trenches, Love Letters of the Great War brings together some of the most romantic correspondence ever written. Many of the letters collected here are eloquent declarations of love and longing; others contain wrenching accounts of fear, jealousy and betrayal; and a number share sweet dreams of home. But in all the correspondence – whether from British, American, French, German, Russian, Australian and Canadian troops in the height of battle, or from the heartbroken wives and sweethearts left behind – there lies a truly human portrait of love and war. A century on from the First World War, these letters offer an intimate glimpse into the hearts of men and women separated by conflict, and show how love can transcend even the bleakest and most devastating of realities. Edited and introduced by Mandy Kirkby, with a foreword from Orange Prize-winner Helen Dunmore.

A legacy of an empire and a nation at war, Letters from the Front is a collection of correspondence sent by British and Commonwealth troops from the front line of war to their loved ones at home.

From the muddy trenches of the Somme through the frozen ground of the Falklands to the heat and dust of Afghanistan today, these letters are the ordinary soldier's testament to life on the front line.

"[A] long, beautiful, heart-breaking love letter to potential and possibilities and hope, to the pain we survive in youth and carry with us into adulthood."--NPR Book Reviews One week. That's all Jessie said. A one-week break to get some perspective before graduation, before she and her boyfriend, Chris, would have to make all the big, scary decisions about their future -- decisions they had been fighting about for weeks. Then, Chris vanishes. The police think he's run away, but Jessie doesn't believe it. Chris is popular and good-looking, about to head off to college on a full-ride baseball scholarship. And he disappeared while going for a run along the river -- the same place where some boys from the rival high school beat him up just three weeks ago. Chris is one of the only black kids in a depressed paper mill town, and Jessie is terrified of what might have happened. As the police are spurred to reluctant action, Jessie and others speak up about the harassment Chris experienced and the danger he could be in. But there are people in Jessie's town who are infuriated by the suggestion that a boy like Chris would be a target of violence. They smear Chris's character and Jessie begins receiving frightening threats. Every Friday since they started dating, Chris has written Jessie a love letter. Now Jessie is writing Chris a letter of her own to tell him everything that's happening while he's gone. As Jessie searches for answers, she must face her fears, her guilt, and a past more complicated than she would like to admit.

This is a love story from a simpler era, a lifetime before emails, texting, and tweeting. A time when the fastest way to stay in touch was with paper, ink, and air mail.A week after he got engaged, a young private was deployed to the other side of the world and wrote home to his fiancé each day, sometimes twice a day. He talked about the war and their plans for a future together. She saved all his letters and kept them in a box with her scrapbook of every date they had together. When the war ended, they got married, cared for each other in sickness and health, and were inseparable for more than 50 years. All that time, the box remained hidden in the attic under the eaves. After death took them both, the letters and scrapbook once again saw the light of day. Faded and brittle with age, they preserved a vision of life and courtship exactly as it was.This book is a glimpse into the lives of two very special people, as told through the hand written letters and hand-pasted images of a couple who were destined to live their lives together. Their words and pictures will be familiar to everyone in a relationship, especially those kept apart by military duty or civilian careers.

From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is edited and introduced by publisher Ursula Doyle. For some of these great men, love is a ‘delicious poison’ (William Congreve); for others, love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one’s heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven’t changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented described here – as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most.
